I was in a relationship for 6yrs. It ended due to my mental breakdown. 51/2yrs. later with recovery,I contacted him to make amends and tell him I'm still in love with him. Wanting to know if we could work things out. "He said,We could be friends because he is married." He married his sons mother,son was 11yrs. old. He said,"I married her because I was concerned about my sons welfare over our situation." They have been married 2yrs. He also told me 2yrs. ago his son was in a hit and run accident and almost died. When we were together I saw him make alot of sacrifices for his son. This man has always had strong principles. This man told me we could be friends. How do I remain friends when,we've always had a strong connection in every area? He didn't want to hurt me or himself and didn't want to put me in the position of being the other woman. He said," I didn't marry her because I loved her,it's for my son." My question: Isn't he living a lie,being untrue to his self and the son,also the wife. What I've heard,it's better for the child, if one of the parents isn't in love with the other for them to be apart. I do appreciate his honest.
